Question

a 6th c section

Share

Hello Everyone,
I have four beautiful children. But last year I lost my baby girl to still birth. I was exactly 36 weeks on the day I found out I had lost her. Now I desperately want to have another child. However, my doctor does not want me to have any more children because I have to have c sections. On the other hand, I have seen numerous women on the internet that have had up to 7 and even 10 c sections. What should I do?

No one can tell you what is safe for you besides a doctor. But have you and your doctor talked about what happened with the baby you lost. Was is because of your uterus and being able to carry to term. I ask because I have a friend that lost 2 babies both after 32 weeks because her uterus was not able to support the baby after a certain weight. And she only had 2 c-seactions before the 1st loss.
